Kate hesitated a moment, then took her seat. She sat in silence as Tyler sat down and brought his chair

closer to the table. He looked uncomfortable, and he kept playing with his napkin, worrying it between

his fingers.

“Maybe I am sort of hoping that you’ll give us another chance,” he said finally.

Kate let out a long sigh. “I should have known,” she said.

“Wait a minute,” said Tyler. “Why am I a bad guy all of a sudden just because I’d like to see us give it a

try?”

“Because you shouldn’t have used the coven to try to get me back,” Kate said.

Inconveniently, the waiter appeared right at that moment with their orders. Both Tyler and Kate avoided

looking at him as he set their cups and plates down. Sensing some tension at the table, the waiter made a

quick retreat, after which Kate took a sip of her coffee, not bothering to blow on it to cool it and not

caring that it burned her tongue a little.

“You shouldn’t have said you wanted me in the coven when what you really wanted was to get me to go

out with you,” she said.

“That’s not why I asked you to join the coven,” Tyler protested.

“You just said—” Kate began.

“No,” Tyler said, interrupting her. “What I said was that yes, I would like to go out with you again. I

didn’t say that I used the invitation to join the coven as a way to get you to do that. If you don’t want to

go out with me again, that’s fine. You’ve already made it clear on more than one occasion that you don’t

want to. But I still think you’d be a good addition to the coven, and even though it would be hard for me

to have you there knowing that you don’t want to be with me, I’d do it because that’s more important

than having a date.”

It was Kate’s turn to be taken aback. “Oh,” she finally managed to say.

“Did you really think that I would use my coven to try to lure you into some kind of trap?” Tyler asked.

Kate nodded. “The thought crossed my mind,” she said.

Tyler leaned back in his chair. “Kate, apart from my family, the coven is the most important thing in my

life. I would never use my involvement in it—or in Wicca—to try to get someone to do something she

didn’t want to do. You of all people should know how dangerous that is.”

Kate knew that Tyler was referring to the fact that she had once used a spell to get a guy to fall for her.

That incident had caused her a lot of trouble and pain, but it had also been the reason for her getting

involved both with the Wicca study group and with Tyler. Still, Tyler was right. She should have known

that he would never do anything to try to manipulate her.

“I guess I kind of owe you an apology,” said Kate sheepishly.

Tyler took a bite of his cheesecake. “Apology accepted,” he said.

“It’s just that I was having doubts about joining the coven,” Kate explained.
